I always believed in Jesus as my lord and savior since I was a child. I’m a nurse and when one of my patients died, a beam of blue sapphire light came through the ceiling of the room and went directly on my patient. Then I saw my patient’s soul come out of his body. It looked identical to him. Same hair cut and style. Then his eyes opened and looked up the beam of light and he started to go up in the beam of light towards the ceiling then the light disappeared. The whole thing happened in about 8 seconds or less. There is a God people and Jesus is Lord/ God. Before that all happened, I called on Jesus to help me and help my patient, then it all happened in 3D 1-2 feet from my eyes. I have never had an experience like that before that or since that time. How do you explain that? -E from The Internet
Do you think it would do more harm or good if everyone spontaneously learned the truth about all religions all at once? (Something like a hive-mind infodump?) Even if it turned out one of the religions out there was actually right? -Gideon from The Internet
Can we create an official atheist holiday where we can get off work that’s protected by freedom of religion? -Laura from Falls Church, Virginia
Listening to Ask an Atheist about snow on hilly windy infrastructure made me think of snow here in Pittsburgh. -David from Pennsylvania
